Philip and the Girl Who Couldn't Lose (9781619501072) (7 page)

“
I don’t want it, Flipper. You keep it,
and we’ll go buy something special with your winnings. Your thank
you is enough for me.”

As Philip followed his father into the house
to let his mother know the good news, he thought of Jeanne. She
said she couldn’t lose. He’d beaten the girl who couldn’t lose! He
turned his mind to something equally as pleasant. He had to decide
what kind of candy bars to tell Jeanne to buy for him. He couldn’t
wait to get to school tomorrow!
